DANGER
Positioning the occupant restraint when using it with the Balder clamp
down:
The floor anchorage points for the occupant restraint system should be
located 10-60 mm outside wheels, on each side. The pelvic belt must be
worn low across the front of the pelvis so that the angle of the pelvic belt
is within the optional or preferred zone of 30° to 75° as shown. A steeper
(greater) angle within the preferred zone, 45° to 75° is desirable i.e. closer
to, but never exceeding 75° degrees.
Preferred and optional angles for location of the lap belt
6.4. Transportation by air
NOTE
Balder wheelchairs are supplied in many specially adapted variants, so equipment may be fitted
which has to be removed in addition to what is described here.
Balder wheelchairs are supplied as standard ex works with Sonnenschein dryfit gel batteries.
These batteries are approved in accordance with IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations – Packing
Instructions 806 and Special provision A67. The batteries must be labeled with IATA labels. This
means that the batteries are approved for transportation by air. If a situation nevertheless occurs
in which it is necessary to physically disconnect the power supply from the battery poles, see
section 8.2.5 on battery removal.
6.4.1. PREPARATIONS PRIOR TO TRANSPORTATION BY AIR
You have to make a few preparations prior to removing items in order to ensure that the chair
takes up as little physical space as possible while being transported.
1. Use the electrical functions on the control panel and move the electric seat tilt so that the
seat pad is more or less horizontal.
2. Move the electric back up to approx. 110 degrees to the seat pad.
3. Move the electric footrests upwards and inwards as far as possible without them catching on
the floor.
4. Move the electric seat raise as far down as possible.
5. Switch off the electrical functions using the on/off button on the control panel.
